Ing on the outside looking at the rusty two
Sizes, the small frame buildings near by the tow
eriGg elevators, or the bulletin boards covered
with htghly-cOored pictures OF theatrical attrac-
tons In all directions vacant lots or rough llm-
Der or stone yards could be seen.
Not bit OF decoration was visible for block

the dirty drab which projected the outside
misunderstanding from the elements and the big
yellow letters which looked almost aashy In their
bed OF gloom.

human hume beings. Above the HEADS Of the crowd

and artillery. Their arrival occasioned' a sensa-
as the Presidential equipage appeared on
the scene. The crowd was entirely good

good behavior and readily enough obeyed the re-
quests OF the police 10 stand back and leave q
clear space through which the Presidant might
pass. AS the Presidents carriage moved away,
the military formed around it, and the tumuitu-
Gus crowd with wild cheering 1eil In behind The

the carriage and bowed and smiled as the roaring
cheers Went up. lie seemed well Pleased with his
welcome, and he might well be, for 1t was royal.
Mrs. Cleveland wore q black travelling dress and
looked fresh and charming.
AS the PRESIDENTIAL carriage came in view a
cheer went up from the masses that filled the
streets as the carriage advanced, but the de-
Ileanor OF the crowd at this part OF the line OF
march was IN striking contrast to the unceasing
din OF cheers that greeted the President further
On. There was no music until the procession got
to 23d street and the crowds did nothing but look
